The papers are full of empty shelf pictures today due to the 'pingdemic'. The problem isn't pings but the huge number of cases and now the chickens are roosting - let's get the cart and the horse in the correct order...

I would have thought that many of the people isolating lose out financially if they don’t work after they’re pinged. And it’s easy to not be pinged - you just delete the app.
The Government's 'stratgey' is completely reliant on test and trace for containment.
My feeling is the former. Brits do what they’re told - the school system is effective.
Or we could say, What’s wrong with the cart. A system that requires so many uninfected people to isolate is not working. I’ve read proposals for a system that leans more heavily on lateral flow tests. That’s now a difficult sell because iSage’s scare story one week was that they don’t work, are Chinese made etc. Another own goal. The choice will now be between a system that doesn’t work or no system at all, partly because the group that’s monopolised the critical viewpoint won’t want to row back on its earlier bullshit.The papers are full of empty shelf pictures today due to the 'pingdemic'.

It's really simple - download the App, check into places with it and comply with its instructions including isolating if necessary.
Indeed. I suppose it’s already too late to start panic buying…If you want the UK workforce to be totally reamed out for the next month, yes.
Of course, the media publishing pictures of empty shelves means it's March 2020 all over again.
It's all a bunch of a**e.

Yeah, bloody imbeciles. Fortunately I don’t need pasta or bog rolls as I’ve still got loads left from early last year…Yes as the supermarkets have said there is no need to panic buy, the media have reported there is no need to panic buy and hence all the selfish imbeciles will be out there hoovering up pasta and toilet rolls.

How many did you buy?Yeah, bloody imbeciles. Fortunately I don’t need pasta or bog rolls as I’ve still got loads left from early last year…
Well, the headline on the BBC News app is “NO NEED FOR PANIC BUYING”.Indeed. I suppose it’s already too late to start panic buying…
